The Cursed Towers by Kate Forsyth
4.0
Lachlan the Winged has won the crown, but with the land is still divided, his campaign is far from over. While he adjusts the responsibilities of a kingdom and prepares for war, he becomes increasingly short tempered with Isabeau and Bronwen. Isabeau, unhappy in Iseult's shadow and fearing for Browen's safety, flees with the toddler to seek out the Khan'cohban, and inadvertantly, finds her destiny.
At the end of 'Pool of Two Moons', the story seemed at a close. However, 'The Cursed Towers' shows there are still many more compelling threads to explore: the war, Lachlan's hostility toward Isabeau and Bronwen, Maya's machinations, and so on. It is a rare series that switches gears so well, with a great plot (still packed full of action) and continued character development.
